In the Matter of the Final Accounting of James Frazer, Executors

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court's final accounting, holding that the widow was entitled to the household property including coal, wood, and shotgun; that other personal property could be exempt; that various claims against the estate were just debts; that cemetery and homestead expenditures were within executor discretion; and that the will did not exclude the widow's dower rights.
